Enterococcus faecalis S613

Enterococcus faecalis S613 is a Gram-positive cocci that exhibits facultative anaerobic metabolism and thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C. As a chemoorganotroph, this strain derives its energy from organic compounds, which supports its versatility in various ecological niches. E. faecalis is commonly found in multiple habitats, indicating its adaptability to diverse environments. The Gram-positive nature of E. faecalis S613 suggests a thick peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall, which may contribute to its resilience under varying environmental conditions. Its facultative anaerobic capability allows it to survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, further enhancing its ecological adaptability. Understanding the metabolic characteristics and habitat versatility of E. faecalis S613 can provide insights into its role in microbial communities, particularly in environments where organic materials are abundant. This adaptability may play a significant role in nutrient cycling and the maintenance of microbial diversity in its habitats.
